[slik]

is the ring entrance on the side now, I can not tell

[Droford]

Wow..an arch

[Droford]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CoPN0V2WYAEh8tz.jpg

[Emperor Smeat]

Could just be the WWE forgetting to update things but suppossedly Cena and AJ Styles are teased to be appearing for tonight's show. Ambrose is another Smackdown star also teased but at least he has the excuse of being the WWE champion as a reason.

http://www.wwe.com/wwe-monday-night-raw-0

[Simple Fan]

AJ could be Gallows and Anderson's guest while Cena is Enzo and Cass's.

[Droford]

Its be funny they can't even get through 1 RAW without abandoning the split rosters outside of Ambrose.

[slik]

The announce table will be at the top of the ramp instead of at ringside as well

[Droford]

The announce desk is back on the stage a la the good ol TNN days..

[Emperor Smeat]

[Evil Vito]

Red ropes are back too.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Bischoff stealing Foleys job tonight? Why are the seats way up thur?

[Evil Vito]

It would be utter piss if Ambrose, Cena, or Styles show up though. Completely negates the entire point of the draft.

[Simple Fan]

Looks like they didn't get new logos for the ring apron yet.

[GD]

Yay! New logo and theme music confirmed :love:

[GD]

Red ropes are back too.

Woooooo... :yes:

[GD]

Steph and Foley gonna address the new roster.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Finn confirmed to have a match tonight via the PreShow! \o/

[GD]

Michael Cole referred to the belt as "WWE World title". Weird.

[Dark One]

The announce table will be at the top of the ramp instead of at ringside as well

I don't like this, because if I recall from when it happened during the BISCHOFF ERA, it seemed like the announcers' were a bit more disconnected from the action, which already seems to be a problem for Cole/Byron. Graves is used to it though, so I'm hopeful he can get some life out of them.

I will give them props for at least changing some things. Here's to hoping to the death of PRESS X TO RELOAD. BRIGHT LIGHTS HYPE CROWD YEAH WE CAME TO THROW DOWN

[Dark One]

Steph and Foley gonna address the new roster.

For 30 minutes to open the show?

NEW ERA.

[Dark One]

Place your bets on how many times I'll get to post "NEW ERA" sarcastically tonight.

NEW THEME!

[ClockShot]

Music sucks.

[GD]

Corey Graves :yes:

[Droford]

Hmm

[Dark One]

Great start due to the death of PRESS X TO RELOAD

[GD]

Music sucks.

It does! :heart:

[ClockShot]

Ah. They're taking the WCW approach with the commentator table. A few yards away from the ring.

[Droford]

New Era count 2

[Dark One]

Music sucks.

It could be Cesaro's siren and siren alone and I'd be fine with it at this point.

That arch makes me wanna go to McDonalds now.

[Droford]

RAW with a metal factory theme

[GD]

New title, baby! Make it happen...woooo!

[GD]

lol...they're calling it the "WWE World Heavyweight Champs..."

[Droford]

Lol

[ClockShot]

All Roman's fault. Heh heh.

[ClockShot]

:rofl:

[Droford]

New Era 3

[GD]

lol...what's the name?

[ClockShot]

Seth gets a bye, kinda sucks.

[Savio]

Wyatts didn't win the tag belts?

[GD]

Fuck off! Universal title :nono:

[Poit]

That is a horrible name.

[ClockShot]

The WWE Universal Championship.

Yeah, okay. :roll:

[GD]

What a garbage name for a Heavyweight Championship :nono: :smh:

[Emperor Smeat]

:lol: at the new belt's name.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

lol New Day doing Cesaros pose.

[Droford]

Universal Championship

http://mobileadvertisingwatch.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/On-Target-NBCUniversal-Strengthens-Programmatic-Business.jpg

[Dark One]

WWE Universal Championship? "SUCK ON THAT SMACKDOWN. YOU WANT TO HAVE A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP? WE'LL HAVE A UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP."

[KIRA]

wow...thats a stupid name ....Less stupid that "the guy"

WHOOO Cesaro
FIINNN!

[GD]

Finn Balor looking mighty sexy.

[ClockShot]

BULLET CLUB! BULLET CLUB!

Oh wait.

FINN! FINN! FINN!

[Dark One]

So... Finn or Cesaro or Roman. Got it.

[KIRA]

SHE WILL BE CALLED THE....divas champion now sUCK IT SMACKDOWN....oh wait.....

[ClockShot]

Off to a good start.

Now, how long before it gets to the point where I just wanna go to bed?

[Dark One]

Big E doing the boss dance in the corner is an A+ GIF oportunity.

[Dark One]

Opening authority promo, but only 10 minutes and it accomplished something.

I'll give it .5 sarcastic NEW ERAs.

[Dark One]

Club ride along will be the greatest production in the history of the WWE Network.

[Droford]

Can't wait til Smackdown creates tag and womens titles

[Emperor Smeat]

On one hand, at least they didn't pull a Bischoff and just hand the new main title to someone but on the other hand, pretty much pulled a post-MitB 2011 in making last night's WWE title match meaningless in terms of impact.

[Simple Fan]

Good choice for the new theme. WWE Universal Championship sounds dumb. I guess it's not a Heavyweight title. Will just seem off with the WWE Women's title on Raw with out the WWE title after they just made them similar. I'd Smackdown going to create a WWE Universal Women's title?

[Locke]

What the fuck was the criteria for being picked to be in the Fatal Four Way matches. Insane favoritism amongst the GMs... there should be riots

[ClockShot]

Mind your step, Double-O 'Saro.

[Evil Vito]

Opening promo only took 10 minutes and actually accomplished something, so that's a step in the right direction.

I mean, I understand them not wanting to just bring back the old World Heavyweight Championship...but did they really need to come up with such a horrendous name? Wouldn't Raw World Championship have been different enough? I guess the problem with that is that in future years they couldn't really ever have the Raw World Championship get drafted away but still. Terrible name.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

What the fuck was the criteria for being picked to be in the Fatal Four Way matches. Insane favoritism amongst the GMs... there should be riots

Being over.

[Dark One]

Being over.

I mean, Sheamus is there.

[Droford]

KO is the New Mark Henry

[Dark One]

"Universal Title" does not sounds any better the more they say it.

[ClockShot]

Just use this.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

FINN BALOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Droford]

Well damn

[Dark One]

Welp, guess we know who's winning this one.

[Savio]

I like his entrance

[Dark One]

Balor's already more over than the new title name.

[Dark One]

Awful lot of dong in that entrance.

More dong than the Undertaker's entrance.

[Savio]

I wish they just had a tourney, this whole thing seems odd.

[ClockShot]

I really hope Anderson & Gallows come out and spectate.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Intergalactic Champion

<img style="-webkit-user-select: none" src="http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20141228212056/marvelcinematicuniverse/images/0/03/Drax2.PNG">

[Droford]

If Owens wins you know Zayn wins #2

[Poit]

Balor's already more over than the new title name.

Eva Marie is more over than the new title name.

[Droford]

I wish they just had a tourney, this whole thing seems odd.

They don't have enough time for 7 matches

[Evil Vito]

Man I'd be so happy if they go with something other than Rollins/Reigns at SummerSlam. The crowd would surely crap on Reigns going over any of these four in the main event tonight.

[slik]

Finn Balor entrance, need to lay down now lol

[DAMN iNATOR]

WWE Universal Championship? "SUCK ON THAT SMACKDOWN. YOU WANT TO HAVE A WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP? WE'LL HAVE A UNIVERSAL CHAMPIONSHIP."

https://dinosaursensei.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/stardust2.gif

Also, "WWE Universal Championship" sounds like something a 7-year-old would name their custom championship title belt in SvR.

[Dark One]

Eva Marie is more over than the new title name.

Things that are more over than "WWE Universal Championship"

1. Roman Reigns.
2. Eva Marie
3. Naked Mideon
4. Jillian Hall's singing
5. Awkward Subway Product Placement
6. The Diva Search
7. Armbar

[slik]

I love the new camera angles, more up close and HD it seems

[Dark One]

Finn Balor entrance, need to lay down now lol

Was it the extended dong shot that made you lightheaded?

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Finn Balor entrance, need to lay down now lol

Yeah, I was done after Bayley showed up last night. Same deal.

[slik]

Did the show have a new intro, I missed that part

[Dark One]

They don't have time for seven matches... before Summerslam?

[Dark One]

Raw pushing that Universal Championship name like it's a clean Roman Reigns.

[GD]

"History has been made as (wrestler) has realized his life long dream to become the WWE Universal Champion at Wrestlemaniaaaaaaa..."

[Emperor Smeat]

Awful lot of dong in that entrance.

More dong than the Undertaker's entrance.

Maybe that's why Steph picked him personally to be in the Fatal Fourway x2 #1 Contendership match for the Seth Rollins Universal title Invitational #1 Contendership match.

Seth Rollins is her #1 RAW draft pick and Balor's dong is her #1 RAW dong pick.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Yep, new video and music, which I, for one, did not care for in the least.

[BigCrippyZ]

I had to rewind my DVR to confirm but did anyone else notice Michael Cole use the term "professional wrestling" during Balor's entrance?

New song for Raw but that song has been around for a while

[GD]

I cared more about the "Smackdown Championship" than the WWE Universal Championship.

[ClockShot]

Hmph.

Owens & Rusev would make a good tag team.

[RawRocks]

WWE Universal Champion just sounds fucking retarded.

[Dark One]

Calling a Braun Strowman squash match in Hour 2. BEGIN THE TITLE PUSH.

[BigCrippyZ]

They don't have time for seven matches... before Summerslam?

Of course not! We have to know what the Raw main event match at Summerslam will be tonight, damn it! God forbid we dramatize or build to anything in the future.

[slik]

Corey Graves already 5,000 times more bearable than JBL

[Dark One]

WWE Universal Champion just sounds fucking retarded.

I will hate it marginally less if Seth Rollins runs it into the ground as being MASTER OF THE UNIVERSE

[KIRA]

If their championship is universal why is it exclusive to RAW huh? Huh?

[GD]

Would be messed up if Roman Reigns defeats Finn Balor in the main event.

[KIRA]

Finn is kicking ass

[GD]

If their championship is universal why is it exclusive to RAW huh? Huh?

It's limited to the "Raw Universe" I guess :?:

Is Corey Graves still a member of the NXT roster?

[Dark One]

If their championship is universal why is it exclusive to RAW huh? Huh?

If their championship is for the whole world, why is it exclusive to Smackdown?

Come on, man.

[Poit]

Is Corey Graves still a member of the NXT roster?

He's been retired from active competition for quite a while, after a career-ending injury.

[DAMN iNATOR]

If their championship is universal why is it exclusive to RAW huh? Huh?

To appease the NBC overlords.

[Emperor Smeat]

Pretty half-assed Bloody Sunday/1916 by Finn.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Is Corey Graves still a member of the NXT roster?

Probably until the tapings run out. Maybe still yes after. Cole called him the "Voice of NXT."

I am quite aware of that. I always thought that "non wrestling" personnel were also considered to be a part of the roster.

WWE.com superstars page confirmed that he is still a part of NXT.

As terrible of a name as Universal Championship is I'm quite sure everybody here is just going to colloquially call the two main belts the Raw and SmackDown World Titles, anyway.

[GD]

Roman Reigns defeats Finn Balor to face Rollins for the title at SummerSlam.

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why's there a fan dressed as a banana?

He's the commercial entertainment for the crowd and will be performing "Peanut Butter Jelly Time".

[GD]

Camera work reminds me of the Impact Zone.

[Emperor Smeat]

Finn was very close to Coup de Graceing Rusev's nuts.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Finn Balor will main event Monday Night Raw in his first night in WWE.

I like Finn but I think it's to early for him to be going over those 3 guys. Hope the Club gets involved when he faces Roman.

Nia Jax plz be better than I remember you being in the ring...

[Evil Vito]

This would be a great time to bring back enhancement talent. For some reason I always loved new people debuting against locals and just wiping the floor with them.

[GD]

Yay he pinned the US Champ

Rusev interferes in the main event, allowing Roman Reigns to capitalize and defeat Balor via pinfall. Setting up the Universal and United States title matches for SummerSlam.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

My guess is SUMMER RAE! She's not like most girls with non-Witch faces.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

She's busted open.

[Corndad]

Britt Baker is pretty.

She's a pretty great women's wrestler around Pittsburgh but obviously won't get to see that as its set up as a squash

[Dark One]

"Being different opens up the window for my dominance of this division."

My enthusiasm for the new product has gone down significantly with respect to the name of the new primary championship. While I acknowledge that wrestling is fake and belts should not be taken seriously, it is still real to me (dammit).

He's not a good man
He's not a bad man
He's Aquaman

Would be interesting if they decide to put a revolving Universal logo in the belt. And have it make the studio intro sound anytime someone "revolves" it.

Going to do a Hardy / Edge style run-in and beat up Bo Dallas while Curtis Axel screams like a lady.

[Dark One]

Roman is so hated that Sheamus got cheered.

Wish they'd let Sami wear his "Flags of the world where he has wrestled pants." He's not a race car driver.

Sheamus does not get enough credit

Spear time

[Dark One]

Now when I see Roman shaking and trembling in the corner, I just think he really wants an Adderall

Both Fatal Fourway matches were pretty good overall.

Going to be really stupid feeding Finn to Reigns on his RAW debut night.

[Dark One]

If Roman Reigns beats Finn Balor:

Longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, Byron.

da big dog roman reigns

[Evil Vito]

Finn isn't beating Reigns. He's just not.

The best case scenario is that he gets screwed over somehow rather than a clean job. I'm thinking The Club dick him over either intentionally or unintentionally.

[Dark One]

If Reigns beats Finn clean, I'm done with Raw.

[GD]

Longest reigning WWE Tag Team Champions, Byron.

And Demolition were the longest reigning World Tag Team Champions.

[Dark One]

Really hoping they're foreshadowing and Sasha superkicks Charlotte into retirement.

[ClockShot]

Who's gonna crash the party?

[slik]

World Champ, eh - Well I'm champ of the Universe. It's like they just can't wait to make SmackDown seem inferior in some way
